Cupcakes are a beautiful invention and were one of the first culinary concoctions that used actual measurements instead of the weight of something. For example, the pound cake was called the pound cake because it almost literally had a pound of all of the ingredients. The mighty fairy cake changed all of this.

Of course, cupcakes have been around for a while, the first recipe dates back to 1796. Not only have they been around for a while they do not last for long. The world record for eating cupcakes was 29 cupcakes in 30 seconds. Quite an amazing feat for any individual; however, I would like to take my time and enjoy my tiny delicate vanilla cake.
